ProCharger has just launched a comprehensive supercharger package for the C8 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, increasing power to in excess of 725 hp.
ProCharger has developed two different kits for the sports car. The first is dubbed the HO System and rocks 5 psi of boost, making a total of 665 hp. Meanwhile, the newly-announced Stage II system ups this to 7.5 psi of boost, resulting in more than 725 hp when running premium pump gas.

The supercharger, an air-to-water intercooler, CNC billet bracket system, ProCharger head unit, and a fully calibrated and tuned ECU are included as part of the system. ProCharger has also tweaked the functionality of the cruise control button on the steering wheel to now easily activate and deactivate the ‘Vette’s cylinder deactivation system that can shut off four of the cylinders when they’re not needed.
A number of optional upgrades are also available for the C8 Corvette. These include a Helical gearset to reduce noise, an aluminum intake manifold, various supercharger upgrades, and carbon fiber upgrades for the manifold cover and trunk cover.
As you may expect, the kits aren’t exactly cheap but represent good value when you consider how much extra power they deliver. The cheaper of the two systems, the HO setup, starts at $17,498 while the Stage II system will set back shoppers $18,498.
Two lesser versions of the HO and Stage II systems are also available. The first of these is dubbed the HO Intercooled Tuner Kit Plus and is the same as the HO kit but lacks a calibrated ECU and only allows adjustments to be made to the engine timing. Then there is the Stage II Intercooled Tuner Kit that has an intake manifold with included port injector bungs and does not include tuning of the fuel system or engine timing.
